Space Cleaner
 |
| Belgium Street Art |
Is it gonna take a space warrior ?
To clean up our bricked corridors
To rid society of all its spills,
Of media garbage,and governments bitter pills,
Of societies that consume and consumes.
Turning our world into a ineffective sickroom .
Is it going to take Darth Vadar ,
To take the bugs from our mental radars,
Should we be left without any immunity ?
Cleanse society, but destroy humanity,
We'll have to take control of the filter,
The world then will remain on kilter.

ReplyDeleteToday I read in a picture of a wall something which went ike, "take addvantage of the fact that you can still think freely" (for who knows when we won't be that free any more!?)
Thanks for your comment in Sweeter Poetry

Tend to agree completely. The Star Wars reference was nice, and an interesting use of the Darth Vader Icon, which is very apt in a what will it take sense? Really nice work, love pieces that reflect but also make one think- thanks, enjoyed very much
ReplyDeletethis is way to funny hope it will not take star wars to arrive to do this one

Even space in orbit around our Earth is littered with space junk and debris, to the point it will soon be hazardous to try to leave this planet.
ReplyDeleteThe heedless devouring by consumer culture and the naive belief that we can just throw our discards "away" somewhere that will not get into our air and water have made a very big mess. Dying oceans, no place to dispose of nuclear waste, gas stations and rocket fuel disposal sites to clean up -- we are making Gaia one big Superfund site at every scale.
The street art is amusing, but what a mess we have made. Thanks for tackling our dilemma in your poem.
Excellent!!!!!
